[@jordanwagner9930]

All of these other girls who are rumored to be on rpdr season 9 can do flips, and kicks, and tricks, and all sorts of cool dance moves, but Sasha really pulls you into her performance. She literally just stands there, which is, from my perspective, mind-boggling. #TeamSasha

[@pedrohector6340]

Jordan Wagner She remember me Latrice! #TeamSashaVelour

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

Jordan Wagner *cough cough everyone's who's rooting for Aja bc she can death drop and say this is boring*

[@dkidluke]

Jordan Wagner she really elevated what to do with a lip-sync. thats why she won, because she is the new thing. like she said, we might get scared or not accept the new thing but she is definitely the future of drag

[@sketchyginger2301]

This is so mind boggling unique. No death drops just fucking captivating art. The only other favorite Ive had before a season started was Katya, COME THROUGH SASHA you won my heart in minutes

[@VAMPIRE3364]

Sketchy Ginger i agree 100000% with you and Katya is my other fave too

[@andysimmons1842]

She comes across as having that quality that Raja, Bianca and Bob have. Just "IT" from the get go.....

[@orangewedges]

You called it. She is a winner, a champion, our sovereign.

[@alejandromorales9516]

If she doesn't make Top 3 in S9, Imma gonna scream rigor morris!

[@coonalisa230]

Lettuce hope so, too bad she definitely wouldn't be able to bring this type of production into the competition.

[@CharaCoutureDrag]

Coonalisa Maybe for the finale lip sync that they've done the last couple of seasons?

[@stagefrights]

she is so talented i just feel like ru and the show's producers don't let girls like her win and im kinda annoyed

[@commonroach]

There's a new rumor she'll get robbed in the middle of the season

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

SatansBootyCall If that happens Ima stop watching because that's god dam bullshit

[@caleb-hb9bf]

Hands down one of the most POWERFUL drag performances I've ever seen. One of my number one faves. Astounding Woman. #RPDRS9

[@tootyTAT]

One of the most artistic lip-syncs i've ever seen, this is just beautiful !!

[@LanaDelRhoades]

She is a walking piece of art and better fuckin make top 3

[@OpenOceanOnly]

Well guess what, Mimi?

[@jeffbot886]

This performance should be turned into the official video for this song!

[@jamesgrandjean6138]

JeffbOT YES it would be so brilliant! especially from 3:07 on. I feel like Sia would be down for this! they should totally collaborate.

[@markmaese9495]

she is the winner of season 9 of drag race

[@user-rl1pd8ei1n]

No but really - she actually won and im happy as fuck

[@coreynbca]

I cried. wtf... that was amazing

[@TheSyngirl]

This is the most beautiful lipsync ive ever seen....

[@redking1333]

this should have a million views

[@renberisha6093]

She is ahead of her time in terms of lip syncs. She doesn't need a stage to get her message across, she needs herself, and that's amazing

[@BomberBandMan]

That's a little bit of art.

[@BomberBandMan]

but for real, this is super thoughtful and intellegent. Super impressed!!

[@JoshLovesRain]

This is the best drag performance I've ever watched. And I've spent way too many hours one person should spending on watching them. I'm impacted.

[@stunarella]

THIS GAVE ME CHILLS

[@stunarella]

yass

[@LucaCullen]

omg this is mind-blowing, #teamsasha all the way

[@WinCraft84]

Cmon media queen, cmon sia, cmon performance art major, COME THRU SASHA

[@iammarkzuckerberg]

she performed an updated version of this on her tour "smoke & mirrors" in 2022. i went to the show in copenhagen a few days ago, and this "cellophane" the opening performance. it was truly one of the most beautiful and powerful things i have ever experienced in my life, and my eyes were so sore from the crying. the entire show was an absolute masterpiece and the most incredible night of my life so far. between some of the performances she shared some extremely powerful wisdom, and i can never thank her enough for everything she does for the world. her art and outstanding mind has truly changed my life - i allow myself to be me and express myself freely without caring about what anyone has to say. sasha, if you somehow see this - thank you so much for everything, i love and hold you so very dear to my heart. i hope to see you perform one day again

[@SheaSaidThat]

I. cant. even. deal. with. this. I. love. her. so. much.

[@torreyy9370]

IM SHOOK

[@torreyy9370]

Shook again !! Come thru S9

[@ytmpf]

tori young THIS IS FCKING AMAZING SHE BETTER BE IN TOP 3

[@tannerjones4261]

if sasha doesn't win i will be depressed for the rest of my life.

[@shardayb.7192]

Sasha is everything I ever wanted in a Queen: intellect, raw artistry, the perfect level of weirdness, intoxicatingly interesting, funny, and drop-dead resurrected GORGEOUS. Truly inspiring.

[@viceramirez2563]

I'm speechless. I'm utterly speechless. This is THE MOST STUNNING lip-sync of all time. I can't wait to see what she pulls out this season.

[@aedanroberts6822]

She did this performance at the Meet The Queens NYC Event last night. It blew the house down. It got, by far, the biggest positive reaction out of any performance. It was absolutely gripping and unlike anything we've seen in Drag Race. Hopefully she'll be able to showcase this intense vision on the show.

[@carrieout-quizeen923]

After seeing this and your hopelessly devoted video, i know who ill be rooting for. Loving what you're doing.

[@oyku8212]

I LOVE this so so so much. This is art

[@cindybb5253]

Kazandi

[@MizzAnthrope]

Sasha, I just wanted to say that I watched your performance of this at the RPDR premiere here in NYC. I'm blown away. I've never seen a Queen convey so much emotion by simply standing still. This routine is truly an iconic piece of performance art. Thank you.

[@Velouriad]

so happy she's on season 9

[@lindaliriel]

I want Sahsa to perform SO MANY Sia songs: "The greatest", "Titanium" and "Elastic heart" in particular, but oh, my greatest dream is for Sia and Sasha to actually do something together, imagine how powerful that could be...

[@asalerno7048]

Wow!...blown away. Artistic gem. So glad the world will get to see her talents on RPDR.

[@malpal8186]

Okay, why isn't this trending?? I legit watch this 10 times a day bc it's probably the most captivating thing I've ever seen.

[@pedrohector6340]

she is my top 3 or 2 in Season 9

[@pedrohector6340]

Winner**

[@arywennolyn]

yep you got it right.

[@andersmillon8799]

Please let her be Top3 so she can bring this performance to TV.

[@drexulgeewrangle]

Speechless....just stunning.

[@ColtonWitt]

This was such a stunning performance I'm in awe

[@maryleep1722]

I cannot handle how obsessed I am

[@creeksaway]

I have so much respect for Sasha! She's so fucking smart every performance is a work of art!

[@AstoriaHeard]

I was there when she performed (debuted?) this in Austin, and the minute I saw it I was a fan for life. And now she’s Queen of the World. Well-deserved. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lunatum2335]

I absolutely love that she decided to do this number as the first one in the "Smoke&Mirrors" line-up. It still holds up amazingly and feels like a nod to the beginning of her carrer. Wonderful. Not to mention that seeing this in a proper theatre setting-which Sasha's shows absolutely deserve, let's be honest- was simply breathtaking.

[@chaneldvinci]

Beautiful

[@mytime4687]

When she first stepped out on stage, my eyes were immediately drawn to her. I hope she makes it on season 9 of drag race, she would bring something we haven't seen before. That stage presence and amazing energy that she radiates is something that a lot of queens don't have

[@akawakanebaneba1]

I am weeping. So beautiful. So talented and smart

[@joeylopezdesign]

this is one of Sia's most underrated songs, I belt the fuck out of it in the car

[@poisonharley]

She has proved she can do it all! Truly well-rounded yet knows her strengths and puts on breathtaking performances

[@jessicahebert2644]

This was unexpected and incredible. Can't wait to see more from you in a few short weeks.

[@verlchill333]

SASHA VELOUR IS BEAUTIFUL. THIS VERSION OF CELLOPHANE IS PURE PERFECTION, WHAT A SPECTACULAR THRILLING RENDITION

[@zarataylor3190]

I can't believe how transcendental this is honestly. it's so amazing and inspiring. I sincerely hope she wins.

[@ZeppelinPietrPryor]

That was, hands down, the coolest drag performance I've ever seen.

[@jacobnewman4216]

I really hope she does well

[@emmylennon7422]

There aren't even words to describe Sasha Velour. What an absolutely incredible person. She's brilliant, artistic, and so gorgeous on top of all that. I'm definitely rooting for this wonderful queen

[@ginaangelina4933]

I have never experienced such a thing while my eyes are wide awake, this is a dream.

[@jordanjaimonae]

The song! The art! The Sasha! All so captivating she is my pre-season 9 fave she better win this season girl! 😭😭😭❤️

[@virgilwelch6136]

I'm routing for her.... OMG I live.

[@scopeouthorrorreviews2682]

Its definitly gonna be her in the top 3 if not the winner i expect her to win without a doubt

[@alliu6562]

Literally, my jaw dropped. I have never seen anything so unique and beautiful in my life, and if in S9 they can't appreciate that, I will be so disappointed. Sasha is a brand of uniqueness that no one has matched since ever, and this is the real future of drag. If they ever have a runway look for the future of drag again, the queens should just show up in Sasha impressions.

[@tinkarrrrr]

Sasha's performances make me cry. They are so beautiful, filled with love and passion. You can see the heart and mind behind it. Watching Sasha inspires me to go on and be the best version of myself. Thank you so much for doing your thing, Sasha!

[@kimsugahara9795]

I get goosebumps every time I see this performance

[@kabass142]

never before has a drag performance given me chills like Sasha Velour has

[@ismaelrodriguez4834]

#TeamSasha SHE BETTER WIN SHE SLAYS ME FROM ALL ANGLES

[@marcellorodriguez1529]

This was even more beautiful in person! Hands down the best performance I have ever seen!

[@spvvky]

Charlie Hides here is proof you can slay a lip sync standing still.

[@rayneg6292]

WHEN THAT FIRST RED STREAK WENT ACROSS AND HIT HER FACE PERFECTLY I GOT SO MANY GOOSEBUMPS WOW THE ARTISTRY

[@aucabanda]

this is my all times favorite Sasha's Nightgown's performance ❤️

[@victoriahugues6039]

I've never seen any other queen do what she does. She's one of a kind and in my perspective that makes her stand out ! #TeamSasha I love you already !❤❤❤❤ And its a shame that we in Brazil, where I live, dont have drag race on Tv . I mean her talent is unquestionable. Come to Brazil someday Sasha! We love you❤❤❤❤

[@ryandusek9491]

you're a winner, baby!

[@champagnesupernova777]

This performance was the first ever video I saw of Sasha performing. Sia’s music always hits me a certain way already so when I saw this and Sasha performed it with all that emotion I cried over it. I can only imagine how I would react in person. So powerful. Truly. What an artist.

[@_stormborn3385]

Watching this makes me so emotional.. it's so beautiful. I love Sasha

[@gizmokeeper]

What an incredible being you are - thank you for your art. You are an inspiration. Shine on Sasha Velour!

[@badoober728]

Congratulations Queen Velour, all the way from New Zealand x

[@gagaoopsy8310]

Definitely one of the most unique queens to ever be on drag race.

[@BGPDCSF]

She gives me the thrills everytime, she's so unique, I love everything about this performance!

[@salpon]

Woooooow. I would love to see Sasha live.

[@michileaks]

I remember watching this when the ruveal was made and thinking she was something special and out of this world and now she's my reigning queen, I'm so happy, she deserves the world and I can't wait to see her rule it with all that perfection...

[@hollyhemus7331]

Goosebumps, amazing performance xx

[@sherlainhunt6624]

Wow!No words....I'm just captivated by this performance. This is what I like to see in a drag queen...the beauty, the fashion and the artistry. Bitch gave me goosebumps!

[@maddyw2713]

I saw this live 2 nights ago and it’s even more magical live

[@cynwashere6940]

She's a performing queen. She shook Russian Paul with her performances making her our queen. Love you Sasha. Can't wait to see what's next

[@verlchill333]

everytime i see this i get the chills

[@joanameireles5814]

[@Catflowerpower]

this performance speaks to me.. I love it

[@TheSlyRules]

When sia performs live Sasha should come along and do this

[@ohthisishardcore]
